8 Health Spending as a Percent of the GDP Fowler RA, Adhikari N, et al Crit Care 2008
9 Life Expectancy and per capita Health Spending
10 Health Care Spending and ICU beds per 100,000 Population
11 Number of ICU Beds by Country Adhikari N, et al Lancet 2010
12 Mortality by Region: Pandemic (H1N1) Duggal A et al 2015 (thesis dissertation) Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation, University of Toronto
13 Why would the WHO be interested in Critical Care?
14 SARS 2003

33 WHO: Challenges Faced
34 The Goldilocks Curse of Epidemics There is no response that is Just Right
35 The Goldilocks Curse of Epidemics There is no response that is Just Right It is easy to over-react
36 The Goldilocks Curse of Epidemics There is no response that is Just Right
37 The Goldilocks Curse of Epidemics There is no response that is Just Right It is easy to under-react
38 Politics & Responsibilities
39 Budget* (and Personnel)
40 WHO: Opportunities
41 WHO: Opportunities There is no one else who can do (a portion of) this work Inherent focus is on developing world Neutrality Intimately connected at global (UN), regional (AFRO, EMRO, PAHO, WPRO, EURO, SEARO), country (MOH) and district levels Ability to convening partners who would not work together (MSF, medical branches of military, etc.) Ability to produce guidance that is generally viewed as the authoritative Its agenda influences other bodies
42 WHO integrated, clinically compatible guidelines & tools for limited-resource countries Second-level learning programme: District clinicians at small hospitals in limited-resource countries Larger than child pocket book- adults have more diverse problems - Sex, drugs - Mental health - More chronic problems etc First-level learning programme: Health centres/outpatients Usually nurse or clinical officer led teams IMCI IMAI IMAI-IMCI-IMPAC IMAI-STB IMAI-IMCI STB-PIH-IMAI IMPAC CHWs, community/family caregivers, peer support Home-based care, treatment support; palliative care tools

50 Emerging Disease Clinical Assessment and Response Network Clinical & Infection Control Pandemic & Epidemic Diseases WHO-HQ, Geneva
51 WHO Emerging Disease Clinical Assessment and Response Network (EDCARN) Vision The mortality due to emerging pathogens is reduced through improved clinical management, even in absence of vaccine or specific treatment. Enhance/empower the role of clinical care / clinicians Mission In the Global Health Security context, To strengthen global collaboration between clinicians, researchers, WHO, medical NGO's, national health authorities and other stakeholders in order to improve clinical management of patients during outbreaks of emerging diseases.
52 EDCARN Partner mapping Network (InFact) Network (ISARIC) Network (SCC) WHO ERC WHO Secretariat Disease / initiatives Specific Advisory Panel Network (WFICCS) Ministry of Health WHO CC Clinical trials WHO CC Preclinical research WHO CC Training of EID Clinical management and clinical research WHO CC Systematic reviews Working Groups Institutions, clinicians, researchers
53 Research
54 Timeline of Start-up Activities for an Observational Study of SARI If we Wait until Outbreaks Start to Initiate Outbreak Research we will Fail to Improve Care
55 Research Challenges Example Research Timelines for Ebola Late Fall 2013: March : April 2014: August 2014: October 2014: Likely Outbreak Onset Outbreak Recognition Date for Case Series Generation Country Research Ethics Approval Approval to Submit Case Series
56 WHO Research Potential Ways Forward If we wait for an outbreak or epidemic to start planning, initiating research, we will almost always fail to improve care during the outbreak and for the future We must have somewhat generalizable, flexible observational studies, with paper and electronic case report forms, ready and ethics approved BEFORE These CRFs should be tiered and be the platform upon which biological sampling and interventions are tested Tier 0: 1-page minimal CRF with descriptors and outcomes Tier 1: Traditional observational study with characteristics, severity of illness, course of care, treatments, available labs, outcomes Tier 2: Biological sampling studies Tier 3: Intervention Evaluation, open or randomized There must be funds / a virtual fund-in-waiting to get this work done
